We’re excited to introduce Sam Kelly, who brings a wealth of expertise and innovation to Astra as our Chief Blockchain Officer.
With an extensive background in blockchain research and experience leading R&D teams, Sam’s work in blockchain technology, smart contracts, and digital identity storage has earned him great feats and recognition in the field.
Before joining Astra, Sam made a significant impact at The Proof of Trust, where he led the development of their secure “Trust Rating” algorithm and researched remote dispute resolution services. His contributions to Web3 space earned him the title of Research Fellow at The University of Manchester in 2018.
Sam’s career doesn’t stop there — he holds a PhD in Nuclear Physics, with groundbreaking research that led to historic measurements in nuclear structure. He pioneered new techniques in electrostatic ion storage, now used in international research facilities.
At Astra, Sam’s forward-thinking approach and technical leadership are helping us build the future of DIDs (Decentralized Identity) supercharged by Astra’s vision to disrupt the commodities and complex asset markets — accelerated by our KYC solution, powered by droppgroup’s AI solutions.
We’re thrilled to have Sam on board!
